It amazes me that some people just have no respect for this day, I requested this day off work over 2 months ago, I got today off and was in town and drove past my job and saw that our American flag was all the way up. It kinda upset me so I went inside and talked to my boss, telling him that it needs to be flown at half-staff today, he said that it is fine and he does not care if it is lowered or not. Luckily while I was ranting to him a Vietnam veteran came in and raised a stink about it, and it shortly got lowered
I agree, standing in the memorial was a very somber experience for me, the magnitude of what happened there is hard to comprehend, you don't really get it until you are standing atop of the submerged ship.
